i can't imagine a worse phone call, as a parent, than one telling you there's been an accident and your child didn't survive. the second worse call, in my opinion, is the one telling you that your daughter is in a life-flight helicopter on the way to the hospital, and no other details. that's the call i got yesterday afternoon. the pics below are the reason behind the call.

but the best thing of all is that she came home today from the hospital, and walked herself out.

 

Ouch man! Sorry to hear that she had an accident. Glad to hear that she survived. What happend? That looks like avery very bad accident!

 

a few more

 

and, some more. the boulder in the middle is the one that started the car flipping, we assume that it was already rolling after dropping down from the freeway. the second pic shows where the car left the road, and my wife, down the road a ways, is where her car finally came to rest.

 

single car, over correction, probably lack of experience, and some nasty terrain. there are a lot of us that can't believe she is still with us, let alone walking and giving us attitude just like normal.

 

God Bless Shorty...My heart about choked me..Man o man I'm so glad your daughter is alright..I won't spew a bunch of trite clichés, cuz we all know what's important here..I hope she will get through the mental trama as well, cuz I'm sure she's quite a bit shaken..As well as you and your wife...I give thanks for her survival.

 

OMG how awful for you & your family! She very obviously was being "watched over" with this one....so glad she is OK!

 

That looks nasty...I am so happy that she is ok...she is blessed...

 

Good lord!!! Those pics are unbelievable!! How old is your daughter? Wow ... I dunno what to say. I'm so glad for you that everything turned out ok. I'd say it's a miracle!

 

thank you all, she's doing fine, acting tough in front of her friends, but she's pretty shaken up with it. she's 17, invincible in her own mind, and apparently in her camry. i think her mom had her arms around her through the whole thing, which is why she's still here. the CHP officer that was first on the scene was surprised she survived.
